Towards a quantum Hall effect for atoms using electric fields

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

An atomic analogue of Landau quantization based on the Aharonov-Casher (AC) interaction is developed. The effect provides a first step towards an atomic quantum Hall system using electric fields, which may be realized in a Bose-Einstein condensate.
